Flying Dog Horn Dog Barley Wine

Brewed by Flying Dog Brewery
Style: Barley Wine
Frederick, Maryland USA

355ml bottle bought at SuperBest in Valby. Cool label logo. Pours a deep, red-brown body under a thin, off-white head. Firm malty to the nose. Has also got a malty taste profile with caramel notes and alcohol beneath. Vague bitter endnote. Flat carbonation. Alright, but a rather monotonous Barley Wine (Tromsø, 14.10.2008).

Vintage 07F - Popped the top on this bottle and got a dark amber, roasted malty brown pour with minimal off-white colored head, leaving lingering tan lacings on the glass that linger for long after the glass has been emptied. Heavy aroma of malted flowery hoppiness, but easy on the bitterness that would be expected with such a strong brew (with 10.2% ALC/VOL). Initial flavor of sweet wine, but dimimishes with the slight bitter hoppy-fruity finish. This one is much more palatable than the smoky, oak-aged brews I’ve recently sampled and will keep a few of these around for future sampling!

bottle, brewed 3/08, amber color with no head , malty nose with not much flavor , a little chocolate and cherry, structured ok but missing a punch for a bw

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear deep brown with a dark tanned head. Nose with caramels and chocolate and hoppy side-notes. Taste is round and sweet with nutty notes and burned malts. The finish is clearly alcohol-like... maybe too much but with nice hoppy notes.

Meeeting at DØ, Aarhus Syd, DK. Bottled, 151008. Brown with small head. Aroma of malt, chocolate and hop spices. Flavor is caramel, roasts, some grapefruit, liqourice and alcohol

Poured a nuttty brown with virtually no head. Some yeast sediment noted. Heavy aroma of sweet malt with a note of chocolate in the background. Palate was slightly oily and slightly astringent. Sweet, but not as heavily so as other barleywines I’ve had. Some chocolate notes and a slight licorice aftertaste as it warmed a bit.

Amber and a bit unclear. Off-white head, mostly lasting. Sweet aroma, malt, caramel. Flavor starts sweet and finish moderate bitter. Syrup bitter.

Bottle. Pours a ruby brown body with a quickly diminishing head. Nice dark fruit flavor of raisin and grapes. The etoh makes it come off a bit vinous, a nice viscous mouthfeel very sweet. Good beer.
